BQ25638: BQ25638 ESD issue

Part Number: BQ25638

HI

As shown in the figure, we have a product that uses the BQ25638. During electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing between SYS and GND, the connection between SYS and BAT always disconnects momentarily and then reconnects. May I ask if there is a way to confirm the cause of this issue? Is there a method to improve the situation so that the MOS between SYS and GND does not disconnect during ESD testing?

  • Hello, 

    Thank you for reaching out via E2E. 

    Is the BQ25638 IC being powered from either VBUS or BAT pin during the ESD testing? The internal BATFET between SYS and BAT pins will not remain on if charger IC is not powered. 

    Best Regards,

    Garrett
